Each week we'll chat through our favourite bits of the show, who we're loving and hating, the deep life lessons we've learned from it that week (just who should pay for dinner? can you actually have good sex while holding down four corners of a duvet? what is the correct way to ride an inflatable swan?) and our hopes and dreams for the couples (that they all make enough from flogging protein shakes on Instagram to buy their very own villa). Join us on a Monday morning as we get under the covers with the our favourite summer reality show, Love Island. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
